those who voted blue are also kind of assholes. You guys should get real democracy going: Ranked Choice Voting. Burn the current senate, congress and Supreme court down. Build them back properly.
Man, if only that were possible. Every time anything local has tried anything to get ranked choice voting in or get rid of gerrymandering, it gets shot down, and if people tried any direct action they would really get shot down.
Though that second option seems to be more viable each day here.
It’s not that easy, the system will take a lot to change and it will take years. It only comes down to two options. Red or blue. Didn’t have much of a choice. That doesn’t make us assholes, that makes us at the very mercy of the system. Not voting or voting for the niche party means failure.
What pray tell am I in a blue state supposed to do. Our system is effectively run by 1% of the electorate too stupid to have a fixed opinion in competative states
There’s always the high agency option, though only a few Americans are willing to pursue it.
Stop paying taxes and subvert the rule of the United States and the corporations that support it. If your new faction has enough holding power, it will be impossible to dislodge you - remember that the US is awful at asymmetric tactics. ChexSystems can’t do jack against you if their power base is weakened from subversion.
Some of us tried voting blue, you know… No need to group us all as the same.

Wow so glad you in your genius were able to point that out, none of us have ever thought of that before, we’ll get right on doing that
